TLF4277 Demoboard Application Note Rev. 1.1, 2012-04-25 Automotive Power TLF4277 Demoboard Introduction 1 Introduction The TLF4277 Demoboard is a demonstration of the Infineon low drop out linear voltage regulator with integrated current monitor. The TLF4277 is the ideal companion IC to supply active antennas for car infotainment applications. The adjustable output voltage makes the TLF4277 capable of supplying the majority of standard active antennas. This application note contains the main information for the TLF4277 Demoboard. 1.1 General Description The TLF4277 is a monolithic integrated low drop out voltage regulator capable of supplying loads up to 200 mA. For an input voltage up to 40 V the TLF4277 provides an adjustable output voltage in a range from 5 V up to 12 V. The integrated current monitor function is a unique feature that provides diagnosis and system protection functionality. Fault conditions such as overtemperature and output overvoltage are monitored and indicated at the current sense output. The maximum output current limit of the device is adjustable to provide additional protection to the connected load. The IC can be disabled via the Enable function to lower the power consumption. The PG-SSOP14 EP package provides an enhanced thermal performance within a SO8 body size. 1.2 • • • • • • • TLF4277 Feature List • • • • • • Integrated Current Monitor Adjustable Current Limitation Adjustable Output Voltage Overvoltage Detection Output Current up to 200 mA Very Low Current Consumption Very Low Dropout Voltage 1.3 Wide Input Voltage Range up to 40 V Reverse Polarity Protection Short Circuit Protected Overtemperature Shutdown Green Product (RoHS and WEEE compliant) AEC Qualified Block Diagram RSHUNT VBAT RCS 1 CS1 I CS2 TLF4277 Internal Supply CI Bandgap Reference ADJ Current Monitor EN CQ Protection circuits BlockDiagram .vsd CSO Figure 1 Regulated Output Voltage Q Load E.g.

The voltage at pin ADJ is compared to the internal reference of typical 1.22 V through an error amplifier. The error amplifier controls the output voltage.

To avoid errors caused by leakage current IADJ, we recommend to choose the resistor value for R2 < 27 kΩ. For example, for 8V output voltage the following resistors can be selected: R1 = 56.2 kΩ R2 = 10 kΩ VQ = (R1 + R2)/R2 x VREF,int = (56.2 + 10)/ 10 x 1.22 = 8.076 V The accuracy of the resistors for the external voltage divider can lead to a higher tolerance of the output voltage.To achieve a reasonable accuracy resistors with a tolerance of 1% or lower are recommended for the feedback divider. Application Note 3 Rev. 1.1, 2012-04-25 TLF4277 Demoboard Technical Specification 2.2 Current and Protection Monitor Functions The TLF4277 Demoboard provides a set of advanced monitor functionality. The current flowing into the power stage can be monitored at the CSO output. In addition the current limitation can be adjusted via external resistors. Events of the implemented protection functions are reported through dedicated voltage levels at the CSO output. This information can be processed by an external µC for system analysis and failure identification. The monitored events are over-current, overvoltage, and temperature shutdown.

A combination of a 100 nF capacitor and an additional buffer capacitor of 10 µF or higher should be placed as close as possible to the IC terminal, which are connected to VBAT. Figure 4 shows the output level at the CSO pin versus the operation or fault condition. The graph is valid for the following set up of external components: RSHUNT = 1Ω RCS1 = 100 Ω CCSO = 2.2 µF RCSO = 1.5 kΩ Application Note 4 Rev. 1.1, 2012-04-25 TLF4277 Demoboard Technical Specification VCSO [V] 3,2 Short Circuit to V BAT 3.1 V typical 3,0 2,95 Thermal Shut Down 2.80 V typical 2,65 Current limitation and SC to GND 2.55 V typical 2,45 Linear Current Sense Band up to 2.45 V 0 163 170 Figure 4 Output levels and functionality of the CSO output1) 2.2.1 Linear Current Monitor ICS2 [mA] Inside the linear current monitor area the current driven out of the CSO pin is proportional to the voltage which is measured between pin CS1 and CS2.

If the level of the voltage drop across the sense resistor RSHUNT is higher than the desired linear monitor range the output current of the TLF4277 will be limited. 2.55V × R CS1 I CS2,lim = -------------------------------------R SHUNT × R CSO Setting of the adjustable current limitation (4) A voltage level of 2.55 V typical, as shown in Figure 4, will be applied at the CSO pin. To achieve a current limitation of 170mA the following configuration can be used: × 100Ω- = 170mA I CS2,lim = 2.55V ---------------------------------1Ω × 1.5kΩ RSHUNT = 1Ω RCS1 = 100Ω RCSO = 1.5kΩ 2.2.3 Overvoltage Detection To detect a possible short circuit of the output to a higher supply rail the TLF4277 has an overvoltage detection implemented. An overvoltage will be detected, if the voltage level at the ADJ pin is 20% higher than the internal reference voltage VREF,int, which is typically 1.22 V. Under this condition the CSO pin will be driven through an internal voltage buffer with the voltage level of 3.10 V typical as shown in Figure 4. 2.2.4 Thermal Shutdown Detection If the junction temperature exceeds the overtemperature shutdown threshold defined in [1], the TLF4277 will disable the output voltage. In such a case the voltage level of 2.80 V typical will be applied at the CSO pin, as shown in Figure 4. 2.3 Enable Function The TLF4277 can be turned on or turned off via the EN Input. When voltage levels higher than VEN,high are applied to the EN Input the device will be completely turned on. A voltage level lower than VEN,low sets the device to low quiescent current mode. In this condition the device is turned off and is not functional. The Enable Input has a build-in hysteresis to avoid toggling between ON/OFF states, if signals with slow slope are applied to the input.
